Prosecutors in Bowe Bergdahl Case Call for 14-Year Prison Sentence


FORT BRAGG, N.C. — A military judge has begun deliberating the fate of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl after closing arguments in which prosecutors called for a 14-year prison sentence.

“It’s not only an appropriate sentence in this case, it’s what justice requires,” a prosecutor, Maj. Justin Oshana, said Thursday. The prosecution is seeking the prison term, a reduction in rank and a punitive discharge.

The defense team is asking that Bergdahl be spared prison time and given a dishonorable discharge. Bergdahl pleaded guilty last month to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.

That is about 35 years light if you ask me but then I really think his punishment sgiuld include asking if he wants a blindfold and a last cigarette.

Bergdahl wanted to raise concerns about something going on in his unit, she said.

So leaving your post is the way to bring it all out?  How retarded is this guy?

She added that by pleading guilty and acknowledging that his actions were wrong, Bergdahl was taking responsibility. She went on to discuss Bergdahl’s unsworn statement where he tearfully apologized for his actions and to those who looked for him after he was captured.

Wait!!! Its around here somewhere....  Nope.  No fucks given.  He can cry from now until they day he dies and I still won't care.

“Sergeant Bergdahl has been punished enough,” Banks said. “It is undisputed Sergeant Bergdahl paid a bitter price.”

Bergdahl's suffering compared to the Staff Sergeant who was shot in the head and confided to a wheelchair where he will never walk or talk again trying to rescue this scum.  Hmmm, no he hasn't paid a "bitter price".
